School surveillance video shows another student who was not involved jumping in. The video shows Jesse wrestled to the ground and punched in the face multiple times.
The student who kicked Jesse was eventually expelled from school, but Wheeler said she had tried to explain the building conflicts and harassment toward her son and other LGBTQ students to school administrators several times before the assault.Wheeler requested two meetings with school administrators before the assault, asking them to take control of the harassment.
“ are hiding under the cover of the right to an education law. It needs to be changed. It needs to be amended, Wheeler said. “This last year I’ve been called into more buildings than ever in my career to help schools address bullying towards queer students, students who identify as LGBTQIA, students who are Black, and students who identify as recent immigrants, “Jones said. “Those three populations of students which have been targeted in schools in Washington state more than I’ve ever seen in my career.”
“Getting those two students in a room, working through it, making amends, when schools have restorative practices in place, that is the only way that I’ve seen a student being held accountable, but also a student being able to say ‘OK, this kid does feel sorry for that they did. This kid is going to change their behavior,”’ Jones said.
Restorative practice is incorporated into policy at school districts scattered around the state, but Jones says more educators need to understand its potential.
